Yes. The difference between CPU idle and suspend LP2 is wake up from any
interrupt or specific interrupt source (wake up source for suspend).

My approach is adding CPU idle LP2 support first and make it support
suspend later. Then reorganize them into PM related code and get the
configurations from DT.

OK, thanks.
